My name is Mirrel, and I am an ashen mage. Yes, one of those mages people fear, avoid, and—at best—try not to notice. Guess where I ended up? At the Academy of Light. A place where lightborn mages are honored, and people like me are kept in a special faculty—only because without us the world will fall apart. Convenient, right?
Here, I’m greeted with slanted looks, mockery, and of course His Highness Prince Roen, who is sure I’m not even worthy to stand nearby. And you know what? I don’t particularly like him either.
But fate has different plans for both of us. One day, the arrogant prince is stabbed in the back by someone—and only my “cursed” magic gives us a chance to change everything.
Strong emotions
A sharp-tongued heroine with a sense of humor
A hero you won’t love right away, but you’ll love forever
A time loop with a “Groundhog Day” effect
An academy full of secrets and deadly dangerous trials
